Backyard breeders are foaming at the mouth to get their hands on a mutant dog so they can cross breed it with a pitt and name is something like “Cerberus”
SITUATION DETECTED: Warhound launched from stealth today with a $200M seed at a $1.2B valuation. Ben Lamm and Palmer Luckey are cloning gene-edited bio-enhanced dogs and equipping them with custom Anduril vests, goggles, and sensors for the military and law enforcement.

We have a website! Try it out it’s great for Ethereum research questions!
I made this! But better! Not only ethresearch, but also Ethereum magicians official EIP and ERCs consensus & execution specs ACD call notes EF Blog Vitalik blog

I feel like a hot girl and the client teams are peacocking for me
we just made @ethrex_client again the fastest client in @ethereum. i've always said, lambda would deliver and push the boundaries of ethereum. after a couple of months focused on Glamsterdam hardening and Hegota prototyping, including hosting several public testnets for the most important EIPs coming in Hegota, we've turned our attention back to performance. this doesn't mean we're stepping away from that work, where we still have a lot to contribute. The early results are very promising. In just a couple of days, we brought block processing time down from ~40ms to ~26ms in mainnet, making ethrex the fastest client once again. The image below compares how we perform today (ethrex-baseline) with what we've been cooking (ethrex-testing). congrats @class_lambda, i'm proud of the team we've built. i love working with people that are way smarter than me. thanks @ethereumfndn for the constant support.

People sometimes ask why I'm into privacy tech. My brother in christ my entire bloodline's personal data is for sale online for 20 bucks.
🇦🇷 🚨 MI ARGENTINA — ~6M CITIZEN RECORDS ALLEGEDLY OFFERED FOR SALE A threat actor on an underground forum claims to be selling a database allegedly associated with Mi Argentina, Argentina’s official digital citizen portal. The actor claims the dataset includes roughly 6 million records with fields such as: * National Identity Document (DNI) numbers * Full names, emails, and dates of birth * Residential addresses * Tax/labor IDs (CUIT/CUIL) * Process statuses and IDs * Passwords * Fingerprint data * Vehicle registration plates Research date: Sep 29, 2026. The claim has not been independently verified. ⚠️ Analyst Note: Mi Argentina is a high-value government digital-identity / citizen-services surface. Self-authored underground listings of national ID-scale dumps are frequently overstated, recycled, or assembled from multiple sources. Volume, field authenticity (especially biometrics/passwords), freshness, and whether any Argentine government system was actually compromised remain unconfirmed. The posting account is a new, low-reputation forum member — treat attribution and sample quality with extra caution. We assess this as an unverified threat-actor claim, NOT confirmation of a compromise of Mi Argentina or Argentine government systems. If authentic and non-public, national-ID and biometric material could support identity fraud, account takeover, and targeted social engineering — but those outcomes should not be treated as confirmed on the basis of a listing alone. #DDW #DarkWeb #Argentina #MiArgentina #Government #PII #DataLeak #ThreatIntelligence #CyberSecurity

Does that say a MONTH rollback
Zano network update: Recovery solution for Gateway Address vulnerability The core team has identified a serious issue involving Gateway Addresses, which enabled unauthorized ZANO and fUSD to enter circulation. Our investigation has found no compromise of wallet spend keys or ordinary transaction privacy. Zano core consensus is unaffected. The team has developed a solution to eliminate all unauthorized activity with a coordinated network upgrade. To ensure full network integrity, the Zano blockchain has been restarted from block height 3,833,000, immediately prior to Hard Fork 6. This affects approximately one month of chain history. The recovery requires participating nodes, miners, stakers, and services to adopt the update. We are relaunching services such as the mobile wallet node and the wrap service one by one. It is up to each third-party wallet, exchange, and service to update on their own behalf. Before sending funds to or from any of them, check that they have moved to the recovered chain. Transactions confirmed during the affected period are not part of the recovered chain. Keep transaction IDs and trade records, and do not resend a payment until you have updated your wallet and checked its final status on the recovered chain. If you run a full node, mine, stake, operate a pool, or provide exchange, bridge, or payment services, please install the emergency release as soon as possible. Use only zano.org/wallets or the official GitHub releases page, and verify the published checksums. Ordinary wallet users can now download the updated wallet from our website as well. Seed phrases are not required to perform this upgrade. This update removes all unauthorized activity from Zano's chain. It cannot affect payments already settled in USDT, DAI, or other assets on separate networks. The team is working with affected projects and counterparties to account for any losses and will publish the reimbursement and claims process. Real people and businesses have been affected. We intend for the community to be made whole throughout this process. Certain community members have already pledged support to ensure that assets are restored. Pushing innovation carries risk, and this is a clear example. Serious incidents have occurred elsewhere: Bitcoin recovered from an exploited supply bug and chain reorganization in 2010; Zcash recently patched a potential counterfeiting flaw before any known exploitation; and Ethereum made an exceptional state change after the DAO attack. Each case was different, and none diminishes the harm here. We will publish the technical cause, the results of reviewing adjacent Gateway Address code, and the criteria for safely resuming activity. Confidence must be earned through that work, and the team is committed to working with the community to deliver on these efforts.

lol nah, privacy is _not_ dead, we've just built the wrong defaults so far. any kind of privacy must be part of the _runtime_ (can be an execution layer, can be a browser, etc.), not something users have to configure. that's why i've been saying for years: we must ship _L1 enshrined unconditional_ privacy. if the default tx is private by default, you scale privacy and you win. i won't stop until i can replace my xmr txs with eth txs. build the right system defaults, and you win. ethereum enshrined privacy will win.
the main thing i think about is how dead privacy is from here on forward

Leaving privacy to the application layer results in small fractured anonymity sets compared to protocol-native privacy. Ethereum should have some protocol layer mechanism to aggregate anonymity sets, at the very least

I challenge anyone who thinks the EF has a “monopoly on core development work” to show up to one (1) All Core Devs call to see how EIPs are decided on. Today’s execution ACD consisted entirely of CLIENT TEAMS deciding on the EIPs for Hegota
